Black & White images, no words

This is a period of estrangement from words. Not because the words are unwanted. Just unavailable. Made unhelpful precisely by how much more we need them. Part of it is the laziness that sets in at the thought of how much more there is to think and say and write on all of this every day that goes by. This is a period I’ll instinctively turn to the images in my head with more enthusiasm. The black and white shots I’d love to take of us. To keep us timeless. Older than we are now. And younger than we’ll be in no time at all. All possible images. The startled faces, the sleepy eyes, the rolling eyes, the sighs, the hungry looks, the smiles, the chuckles (the image that goes with the sound I love), the life in us. The one that brims and overflows and refuses to be contained. I dream of black and white shots that’ll look beyond your pinkness* and my blueness to find that which is not altered by color. The essence of what came to be what we are today, everything that conspired to make these two boats cross paths in the middle of the ocean and gravitate towards each other. Everything we are, were and may come to be.
*(Sorry, baby…)
